Just in case you did not hear, jimdoha passed away of cancer this week. For those of you that do not know who that is, I will explain. Jim was part of the regular group of Xbox Live players back in the day. Me, Jim, NickT, Kid21, effingham, Kchrpm, TM Riddle, novicus, Samurai Nigel, among others, played Halo and Call of Duty together just about every day for years. Jim participated in this community for a little while, but did not post much. He was loved like a brother by several members of this community, past and present.
One of my first memories of jimdoha was in Halo, of course. We were playing multiplayer battle where the objective was to hold the skull for as long as possible. Jim got ahold of the skull and went into the air vent in the middle of the map, which threw him up and down in the air. He just bounced up and down yelling, "Kill me red team!" He basically just bounced up and down while the other team unsuccessfully tried to get the skull. We just basically stood back, watched and laughed.
When Jim thought our team's victory was imminent, he sometimes would team kill for laughs. We had come to expect it from him, so it was all in good fun. I never did stuff like that. We were playing a flag capture game and I was carrying the flag into our base for the final cap and Jim was between me and the capture point. It's like things went to slow motion. Jim turned to face me, shotgun in hand and murder in his virtual eyes. I put the butt of the flag through his face and capped for the win. The rest of the team, who were high fiving each other at that moment all screamed, "Oooooohh!" Jim said, "Good one, Cam." We all had a good laugh.
